Overview
Brunei Darussalam's gdp ppp stood at $43.4B in 2025, a rise of +$1.8B from 2024. The IMF projects $43.4B by 2025. Brunei Darussalam ranked 133rd globally.
Brunei Darussalam’s GDP measured in purchasing‑power‑parity terms rose from a low of 9,549,000,000.00 in 1986 to an all‑time peak of 43,429,000,000.00 in 2025, reflecting a more than four‑fold increase over a 41‑year span. The 2025 figure places Brunei at rank 133 globally and is closely comparable to Malta’s 44,317,000,000.00 and Moldova’s 46,651,000,000.00, underscoring its position among small, high‑income economies that rely heavily on hydrocarbon exports. The early trough coincided with the mid‑1980s oil price slump, which constrained fiscal capacity, while the subsequent expansion tracks the recovery of global energy markets and diversification efforts such as the development of the halal tourism sector. Despite the strong recent performance, future growth will hinge on the pace of economic diversification away from oil and gas, as well as regional demand for Brunei’s niche services, suggesting that the upward trajectory could moderate unless new non‑hydrocarbon sources of income are cultivated.
